Vacuum as needed using suction only, no bristles. Stains may be spot cleaned wi th a damp cloth or taken to a professional rug cleaner. Do not use cleaning pro ducts as they can damage and fade the rug. The use of an anti-slip rug pad is r ecommended. Rotate the rug monthly to avoid uneven fading or wear. Use rug prot ectors under legs of heavy furniture to avoid flattening piles. Color fading ca n occur if exposed to direct sunlight for an extended period of time.
